That is a great collection and one that should make you the envy of many, both in your home country and here in the USA. :thumbup:

Kudos to Gordon for helping you with them.

I have to say that's a nice layout. A well thought out assortment for a hunter who will actually use his knives. :thumbup:
Is the Vantage Pro your EDC knife?

Thanks.
Yes , Vantage Pro is my EDC knife. It is made of CPM S30V premium steel,
one -hand opening knife which has pocket clip.:thumbup:
But there is the everyday fighting in my soul between Vantage Pro and AG110

Both are the best.
The Vantage Pro was very helpful for me when I was repairing my destroyed car, it was two times this year .

Thanks for viewing, Buck's buddies.

I agree.
My two EDCs are a 110 with Sambar Stag scales and S30V, and a Vantage Pro with the G-10 scales and S30V. I'll carry one about half the week and then switch to the other.

I will soon be getting a new knife that I won from 110 Dave's contest, so that will likely go into my EDC rotation soon.

Can anybody help me with the mark of steel on this blade?
This knife is produced in 1993 year.

Flatlander1963 · Sep 4, 2010

Buck used 425M thru 1993. As with their 420HC, the 425M is much better than the average knife in the same steel. I actually like it a lot!

garryale · Sep 5, 2010

Thank you.
Is 425 M steel from Timken Latrobe?

I seem to remember that Buck buys from Latrobe but it could be the 420HC or both. Someone will know for sure and answer.

Nice layout of Buck knives Igor. I can't wait to see the photo's from hunting camp with them in action (only problem is which one to use 1st).

Nice work helping out a fellow Buck brother Gordon.

Yes , you are quite right.

It's serious problem to have a choice between nicest knives.
